Cello Lessons Westmoreland County, PA

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Cello, Viola, Electric Violin, Keyboard

I primarily use the Essential Elements String Method or Piano Adventures books to start beginners on violin, viola, cello, and piano, with a focus on note reading and scales, as well as playing by ear. If you have started on a different method book, I am happy to keep you on track with your progress. I am classically trained, but as you can see, I enjoy playing classical, musical theatre, post-modern, and rock 'n' roll, so I encourage learning the basics and quickly incorporating the music YOU want to play, as you develop your technique.

Instruments: Cello

As a passionate musician I like to give my all when it comes to music; I love to have fun with my students and will work with each of them, tailoring my lessons to each because each of us is different and will learn in different ways but I will expect for my students to practice so each student can work to their potential and feel how they are progressing in their craft, because there is nothing more rewarding to see yourself going forward because of the work you have done.

Instruments: Guitar, Violin, Cello, Viola

I have been teaching private lessons for the last 6 years and began teaching in the public school system in spring of 2022. This fall, I will be a long-term substitute orchestra teacher for North Allegheny School District. My education at Duquesne was entirely focused on music education. I took various courses in instrument methodology for brass, woodwind, and string instruments, and studied leading pedagogy practices from distinguished educators. I studied cello with PSO musician Adam Liu, and performed challenging works for solo cello in my studio as well as orchestral works with the full Duquesne Symphony Orchestra. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Cello, Viola, Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Music, Keyboard

Beginner Violin/Viola/Cello/Double Bass- I typically start in a class method book like essential elements or something similar, and move out of that book into etude books with music that pairs well with them, before moving onto things that are more student chosen once they can play well enough to play things that they like. Beginner Piano- I use the Leila Fletcher books because they are set up at a good pace, and work through those, adding in music that a student wants to learn as we go. Read More
